John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
Borrowed scenes
I haven't read all the reviews, so pardon my ignorance if my comment is repetitive. I was highly amused by the director's "borrowing" of scenes from the movie "The Warriors" during John Wick's travails during his journey to reach the site of the final duel. Especially obvious were the scenes where lady radio announcer provided the play-by-play location of John while exhorting the mob chasing him to pick up the pace. It was such a flashback for me that I thought for a moment that it was the same announcer from "The Warriors", except she would be much older now. Maybe this and the whole final chase sequence were easter eggs provided by the director and producers as a nod to the original action-packed sequence leading to the ultimate conclusion. Then again maybe "The Warriors" borrowed it to pay homage to an earlier movie.
Otherwise, a great action movie for the ages. I was exhausted at the end, nothing was left on the table. If in fact John Wick is dead, it was a satisfying ending.

It's all about advertising money
I agree this show is nonsense. But remember Discovery doesn't care about the audience. It's all about selling advertising. Content be dammed. There just needs to be a minimum audience to attract advertisers. When the audience numbers drop below a certain threshold and advertising interest wanes, the show dies, mercifully. Hence the need for manufactured drama and anything else that can maintain an audience. It's that simple.

Thanks for the four years...
I'm going to miss this show. Seems that people had somewhat different takes on the show. But for me it was about an imperfect, but surprisingly familiar family making its way through life with its everyday concerns, humor, and disappointment. It was special.
